Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) epsom salts
  • ¼ cup baking soda
  • ¼ cup mustard powder
  • 2 chamomile tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose tea)
  • 6-8 drops eucalyptus essential oil
  • 6-8 drops rosemary essential oil
  • 2-4 drops wintergreen essential oil (optional)

Instructions

  • Place all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well until all lumps are gone.
  • Add essential oils, mix well and transfer to an airtight jar or canister.
  • Add a few generous scoops of the mixture (about 1/4 cup) to a hot running bath and soak for at least 15-20 minutes, breathing in deeply. Rinse your body with a little fresh water and pat dry. Be sure to rinse out the tub!
  • As an option, place a few scoops of the mustard bath mixture into a disposable tea filter and secure with a clip or kitchen string. This will keep your body and tub free from debris.
